This is a prime example of why NOT to put a NM on a cache just because you can't find it!!! (and how sadly DNFs breed DNFs). A cache doesn't "need maintenance" just because you checked behind the hint object and didn't see it.
The great big cache was there all along, safe and sound. It's in great condition and has survived for years because it's well hidden. In the summer the vegetation makes it tougher to find.
As I have archive notifications set locally I saw this one get archived and was surprised so clicked through to see what had happened. Given the time of year of the DNFs I was sure it would be there and last night, as we were passing, we pulled over to check. Sure enough, despite it being 6.5 years since we found it, we found it again within seconds of arrival, just where it should be.
As it still had Geocoins in when it was archived we are now very pleased we took the effort to check, as the TBs can now be moved on.
We have removed the cache and if the owner wants it back they are welcome to contact me.
The 2 TB owners will no doubt be pleased

Nice quick find on a cold and dark evening. TFTC.
